BCCI confirms: India will sport Pakistan's name on jerseys for champions trophy
The Champions Trophy will be held from February 19 and India will play its share of matches in Dubai after citing security concerns as the reason for refusing to travel to Pakistan
The Indian cricket team will adhere to dress code set by the International Cricket Council (ICC) during the upcoming Champions Trophy, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia told PTI on Wednesday, rejecting speculation that the Board had objected to host Pakistan's name on the official jersey for the side.
Champions Trophy Schedule and Venue
The Champions Trophy will be held from February 19 and India will play its share of matches in Dubai after citing security concerns as the reason for refusing to travel to Pakistan. "BCCI will follow every uniform-related ICC rule during Champions Trophy," Saikia told in an interview.
"Whatever the other teams will do regarding the logo and dress code, we are going to follow in true letter and spirit," he added. However, Saikia said that whether national captain Rohit Sharma participates in the ICC's pre-tournament engagements, including a press conference and official photo shoot, in Lahore is still being discussed.
Rohit Sharma's Participation Uncertain
"Whether Rohit Sharma travels to Pakistan for ICC media engagements is something that's still not decided," Saikia added.
(Except for the headline, nothing has been changed by All India News Network in the PTI copy.)
